What is Indoor Air Quality?

When you own a home, comfort shouldn’t be your only consideration when it comes to HVAC equipment. When it comes to Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, Indoor Air Quality is an extremely important issue as well, and an issue that all-too-often gets overlooked or neglected.

This is often the case because most homeowners feel that air pollution is strictly an outdoor problem. Nevertheless, studies indicate this is false. It turns out the air inside a lot of workplaces and homes is far more polluted and toxic than the air outside. 

The EPA defines Indoor Air Quality as the quality of air inside a building or home and how it relates to the people inside the building or home. In general, Indoor Air Quality has a tangible and sometimes profoundly negative effect on our health in addition to our overall well-being, mood and energy levels.

Indoor Air Pollution

Why is Indoor Air Quality Important?

With the majority of Americans spending more than 21 hours per day indoors, the air quality inside their homes has more of an effect on them than most people think. If the quality of air in a dwelling isn’t sufficient, it can have a negative impact on health and the home itself. Recent studies actually show the air in a lot of modern homes can be up to five times as toxic and polluted than the air outdoors, where nature has a wide range of ways of cleaning and purifying it and recycling it. All you have to do is consider how tightly insulated almost all modern homes and workplaces are intentionally made and it becomes obvious why HVAC experts and health officials advise homeowners to consider certain indoor air quality products to use in conjunction with their HVAC equipment.

Because modern dwellings are sealed air tight, if a home has indoor pollution it can get trapped inside and recirculated without proper filtration and ventilation. Then, on top of that, there can be issues with humidity, mildew and mold. More often than not, the use of a humidifier, dehumidifier or air purifier goes a long way when used alongside a heating or cooling system. Additionally, UV Lights and other air filtration products can benefit a homeowner tremendously.

Otherwise, if air quality is poor, short-term health implications can surface after a single exposure, or multiple times being exposed. Those short-term symptoms can irritate the nose, the eyes, the throat, and the skin. Or, it can cause fatigue, headaches, and dizziness. In the worst possible situations, officials say, long-term exposure to certain kinds of indoor air pollution can cause heart disease, respiratory illness and even cancer. Because of things like this, testing is essential.

WIth Indoor Air Quality being such a relevant health issue today, we at Blacklick Heating & Cooling advise homeowners to take certain measures to safeguard their health and the health of their loved ones against indoor air pollution. We also recommend keeping humidity in optimal range and regularly having preventative maintenance performed on your HVAC equipment.

Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality for Blacklick, OH Homeowners

The quality of air in a dwelling is important for more than merely reasons of comfort. Clean Indoor Air Quality is also important for a happy and healthy life. Because the air we breathe is considered the essence of life, poor air quality has a major impact on your family’s well-being and health.

Here are 4 Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality:

  • Upgrade Air Filters

    Making sure your HVAC systems’ air filters get replaced on a regular basis is essential for not only indoor air quality, but also in order to get the most out of your system. Furnace filters need to be checked nearly every month during the winter. Additionally, upgrading to a HEPA filter will go a long way at cleaning out the air and improving air quality.

  • Keep Up with Cleaning

    In addition to keeping rugs and carpets clean to improve air quality, including regular cleaning and vacuuming into your regular routine will go a long way in helping keep your home’s air quality optimal. Doing so prevents this stuff from building up.

  • Seasonal Maintenance

    Staying current and consistent with the maintenance on your home comfort systems is essential for comfort and air quality. In fact, being proactive with all HVAC equipment enables it to run smoothly and do its job the way it was designed to do it. Being proactive always pays off in the long run.

  • Get an Air Purifier

    Air purifiers not only improve your air quality, they also help your HVAC system capture free-floating dirt, dust, dander, pollen, and other allergens in your home. This helps your HVAC system make air filters last longer and reduce the stress from poor airflow. They can also kill bacteria, mold and viruses and remove strange odors from the air as well as chemical emissions. Learn more about the iWave-R Air Purifier and the Reme Halo.
